what are you listening to?

Mine doesn’t sound great. Maybe a deep cleaning would help but it has all the hallmarks of an old record.

New 180 gram, blows the CD away and not by a little either !!!

That photo really makes me want to get the PL version. That Pioneer is really, really nice. I need to start reading up on those troublesome ICs on them and what the solutions are. I'm guessing a recap before they go bad. Beautiful.

Can the chip be deciphered based o the surrounding circuit? Perhaps a daughter board of discreete components could emulate the functionality of the impossible to find chip? I don't think space is an issue in there...

One of my favorite artists. One of my favorite songs. Zappacosta's voice has been matured like a good wine.

Fortunately the IC’s seem to be pretty bulletproof and I have not seen or heard of one failing yet. Glen got one with a bad board but root cause is unknown yet if I remember correctly. Replacing the caps is probably a good idea but so far I have not needed to. They are wonderful TT’s, especially with a AT540 ML.

So I just got two more of Sarah’s reissued records and one is a 45 remaster (Solace). This is the second 45 I have gotten and I have to say, they are spectacular.

David Allan Coe "Son Of The South" 1986 Columbia Records

David Allan Coe "Once Upon A Rhyme" 1975 Columbia Records Played this last night on the Pro-ject Debut III w/2M Blue. Sounded a little rough. Fair amount of distortion on vocals. Ran it through the Spin Clean and the record vac but didn't help. Today I brought it upstairs and played it on my Technics 1210 MK5 w/2M Black. Cut right through any groove damage. The Sugarcube took care of the rest. Sounds terrific!

I second this. I only wanted to source replacements ic’s for future needs. The board Spencer refuses to will be retested next week with some trace repair done. The pl8000 is wonderful unit.
